NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday reclaimed power in the capital’s municipal corporation, with the party’s Raja Iqbal Singh, 54, elected as Delhi’s next mayor.

Singh’s election, and the BJP’s return to power after losing the civic body elections in November 2022, was a formality since the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had announced that it would boycott the mayoral election. The AAP lost its majority in the MCD following a series of defections to the BJP after its victory in the Delhi Assembly elections in February.
